You have enough processing power, but not really enough memory for KDE (Gnome is somewhat less demanding) .. but KDE is no longer viable on small memory machines. Enlightenment is one pig of a machine killer in it's own right. There are quite a few lightweight alternatives, some of which are also pleasant to use, I like WindowMaker myself, but there are several others. You can generally still use KDE apps with them. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
